Zeus Hotel

The two-pearl Zeus Hotel offers good value in a quiet part of Kefalos, near sandy beaches and tavernas. Many repeat guests come here for the great Greek hospitality, budget price, and relaxed atmosphere, which a sunny outdoor pool with loungers, umbrellas, and a snack bar provide. The 62 rooms are a mix of dated and modern, and some are on the ground level, with patios by the parking lot. Free breakfasts are basic, and there’s no full restaurant, but the pool bar is solid, and weekly barbecue nights are offered. The Royal Bay is set along the beach and fancier, but it’s also pricier. 

Costa Dorada Beach Resort

The lower-middle-range Costa Dorada is an aging resort offering a choice of 90 rooms, studios, and self-catering villas divided into two sections, opposite a beach. While layouts are spacious with balconies (villas are newer), poor maintenance and upkeep really lets this place down. There are two pools (one is much nicer than the other), but the on-site restaurant only opens for weekend breakfast, and Wi-Fi is only available at the front desk. The best feature here is the location — Isabela is a magical Puerto Rico spot, with lovely beaches, great surfing, and a fun beachfront dining scene nearby. Costa Dorada has the potential to be a great little family holiday base, but not without some serious TLC. The villas may suit unfussy families who’d like to self-cater, or surfers just seeking a place to shower and crash. Travelers searching for affordability with better upkeep could try Combate Beach Resort.

Atlantic Beach Hotel

The Atlantic Beach Hotel and Suites is a simple option on the outskirts of Newport for travelers who value a convenient location and low rates over amenities. Easton’s Beach is a 10-minute walk away. The 43 pleasant rooms (and three beach cottages) at the two-pearl hotel are spacious and come with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers. A free sparse breakfast is served daily in the lobby, and coffee is on-offer throughout the day. Amenities at the sister hotel, Comfort Inn Middletown, are available for guests and include an indoor pool and a small laundry room. Travelers looking for more amenities and a downtown Newport location should consider Newport Harbor Hotel and Marina, which has a pool, a restaurant, and stunning marina views — but at a higher price.
